Multi level view: expandablelistview

Question

I am trying to write multi level tree. I did look at expandablelistview, but it only supports two levels. I did look at other questions(SO) & posts and the most promising post i have found is http://mylifewithandroid.blogspot.com/2011/02/3-level-expandable-lists.html

I understand that i will have to write something custom to handle multiple level tree. What is the best recommended approach to take? Can i add an exapandablelistview as a child to an exapanablelistview??

Thanks

You can achieve an n-level ExpandableListView, if you use it with your custom BaseExpandableListAdapter.

In this extended adapter, you override the

public View getGroupView(int groupPosition, boolean isExpanded, 
    View convertView, ViewGroup parent)

method, assign a BaseExpandableListAdapter instance to the convertView, and return it.

If you have override all the necessary methods in your adapter, this should work.
